Plain Jane M42 ND - NS66

[bigschuss]

Just got this one from a fellow forum member. Apparently it came from a picker in New York. I only collect named and ranked and/or FP#'d helmets. But this one popped up and I had to go for it. There is something I love about a plane Jane M42 ND…and this one is the plainest, Jane-est helmet I've ever owned. Lot number D453. Partial chinstrap. Smudged dome stamp. And a nice used but not abused patina.

I like it Blair, it has a lovely untouched look to it. Even the plain Janes need a bit of loving now and then Best regards, Bill

Thanks Bill. That's so true!

I just posted this up the the whitewash thread. I'd enjoy hearing your opinions.

Lots of character and a great combat vet look, that says enough for me. Nice catch.

I agree, these ND helmets are underated. That one just oozes with character! Nice catch, and the photos are great
